@ny325.east.verizon.n | Can't wireless connect to 327W I've got a problem:
I just bough a Del Inspiron 6000 with dell 1450 WIFI.
It can see the router, but when I'm trying to connect - It doesn't connect. I would think it's a WIFI card problem, but I can connect to my neighbor's Linksys though. I would think It's a router, but my old dell 600M with intel WIFI connects to the route with no problems.
I've downloaded latest WIFI drivers - Didn't help.
I don't know what to do.
Any advise/help/experince is appreciated. |

Beverly Hills, CA | Maybe you have "802.11g-only" enabled on
the Westell, whereas could change it to
802.11b+802.11g !!!
Also, there could be WEP running.
All these settings can be tweaked by going
into the wireless page @ 192.168.1.1,
in configuration > wireless ....
If there are mac filters, you would need to EDIT
the advanced configuration, on the same screen. |

@ny325.east.verizon.n | It's set on mixes mode, wep disabled and no MAC filters.
As I said, I can connect to the router with my old dell 600m laptop. |

Beverly Hills, CA | try changing the channel from 6 to 1, or 11;
try changing the fragmentation to 2304;
try 4X Support = disabled;
try open system authentication;
try hide SSID = disabled;
try a long preamble algoritm (vs. STA).
try moving your laptop at least 6 feet away from 327w unit. |

Beverly Hills, CA | Probably you need someone to show you how to
use the wireless inside windows XP. |

I was having the same problem with my dell 1450 and the versalink. the only way that I could get it to work is to disable the 802.11h in the advanced section of the wireless card properties. After that it worked just fine.
hope this helps |
